Graham Cracker
Treats
1 package
of graham crackers
Crunchy
peanut butter
Milk
chocolate chips or baking chocolate
1 teaspoon
Crisco solid
First,
break the graham crackers into four on the perforated
lines
provided. Carefully, do this so as to make sure they
break
evenly. Then, spread the crunchy peanut butter on top of
one
graham cracker square and cover with another graham
cracker
square. Set aside on a cookie sheet covered with waxed
paper.
Do this for remaining graham cracker squares. Then, take the
chocolate
and melt it with the teaspoon Crisco in the microwave
in a
microwavable bowl. About one bag of chocolate chips
or 8
squares of baking chocolate should be sufficient.
Can
melt more or less if you desire. Microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes
then
stir. Continue this process until completely melted, stirring
after
each time you stop. When chocolate is melted, take one graham
cracker
sandwich and coat with the melted chocolate then place
back
onto the waxed paper to cool. Do this with all the graham cracker
sandwiches.
You can melt more chocolate if needed.
To help
the treats set faster, you can place into the refrigerator.
After
set, enjoy!!
